Jets offseason brings 44 years of veteran experience to transform a young roster after finishing with the NFL's worst point differential (-203) last season. Coach Aaron Glenn emphasizes urgency, adding Fitzpatrick, Davis, Onyemata and Smith to guide a team that has endured 10 straight losing seasons.

The Garrett trade creates an interesting dynamic. Jets avoid facing the Browns' star pass rusher while Cleveland now has multiple first-round picks in the 2026 draft. The Jets still hold three first-round selections themselves, giving them significant capital in a quarterback-rich draft class. Glenn calls defensive plays, determined to prove his lessons from a difficult first year translate to wins.

Fitzpatrick's $20.5 million guaranteed contract suggests the Jets need him to be a ballhawk after recording zero interceptions last season. The lack of primetime games might help avoid their night-game struggles, where they've lost 16 of their last 19. With a new kicking situation and high praise for Membou, the Jets hope this leadership core can finally end their playoff drought.
